Not quite sure about this but here goes

Just lifted the ss out of the garage to go for a run (its been sitting (upright) a long time unused) and noticed that both brake handle reservoirs have blistered with brake fluid which seems to be seeping out of a 'breather' hole on each top cap. Can't say I ever had this problem on my other bike that's also fitted with 5's

Any ideas?

Cheers

All mine have done that over time. They still work great though.

Mine have a bit of blistering...work fine though despite being several years old and always assumed its the rather nasty DOT fluid causing it.

That's what I thought - mine still work well too,although funnily the old black ones don't seem to have the same issue than the more modern silver ones; guess its a coating / more plastic used issue?
